Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Crop competition limited weed maintenance more than temperature elevation.
- Observation Neither weed species maintained populations while competing with crops.
- Observation More frequent warm years did not yield viable weed establishment.
- Observation Glasshouse-parameterized simulations predicted both weeds persist without competition under current climate.
- Observation Field-parameterized simulations suggested only A. retroflexus would persist.
- Recommendation Authors conclude crop–weed interactions should be included in climate range-shift models.
